WASHINGTON: The United States said Friday it is suspending US$230 million budgeted for stabilisation projects in Syria, citing the aid pledged by other partners in the coalition against the Islamic State group.
'The president has made clear that we are prepared to remain in Syria until the enduring defeat of (IS), and we remain focused on ensuring the withdrawal of Iranian forces and their proxies," she said....

Brett McGurk, the special White House envoy to the coalition against IS, said the militant group has been cleared from some 99 per cent of its former territory in Syria and that preparations for the final phase of the campaign are being made.

He said stabilisation operations involving demining, restoration of water and power supplies and other basic needs are well underway in recaptured areas....

"We are focused on stabilisation, getting people back to their homes," McGurk said....' Channel News Asia

From the above reports, how many of you noticed the hypocrisy and evilness of the Americans in their undeclared war in Syria, the occupation of Syrian territories by American soldiers and the red herring that they are going to stabilise and restore facillities in Syria...without having to ask the Syrian Govt and people. They talked as if Syria is a state of the USA and they can do whatever they like in that country.

Before we get misled by this American rhetoric one must remember who planted the ghost of IS in Syria and used it as an excuse to send troops into Syria to fight IS and terrorism, without the consent or invitation of the Syrian Govt? And after destroying 90 percent of Syria with their unrestrained bombings, they are now telling the world that they are the white knights, the angels that are there to stabilise and rebuild Syria, the country they bombed to Stone Age by inserting IS terrorists into Syria.

Get it? See how the evil and wicked schemes of the Americans are being played up in Syria and the rest of the Arab and African countries, including Afghanistan and Pakistan, to justify their military invasion of these countries, unilaterally, as the Evil Empire that rules over these countries.This is now a text book formula for American invasion of independent countries by inserting their IS terrorists and insurgents to create some kind of fear and terrorist acts. Then they will come marching in and occupy the countries so decided by them.

The Americans are in these countries not to fight IS or terrorists but to conduct regime change, to dethrone the legitimate govt of the countries and install their puppets to take over the countries.

And you have some European leaders crying crocodile tears over Syria and other Arab countries. Read this, also reported in CNA.

'PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced concern on Friday (Aug 17) about the humanitarian situation in the rebel-held Syrian region of Idlib, which is shaping up be the country's next big battleground....

They also called for an "inclusive political process to allow lasting peace in the region".'

In the first place there was peace in Syria and other Arab countries like Iraq and Libya. It is the Americans and the Europeans, former colonial masters, that started the wars in these countries. They started the wars, bombed and burnt down the countries and now calling for peace. What the fuck. And no one is questioning them for their irresponsible acts and crimes against humanity in these Arab countries.

They are the good guys!!!!

Latest, the Americans announced that they would be in Iraq for as long as they are needed. Who decides that? The Americans of course. But Iraq is an independent country, not a state of the USA. Not any more. After using the excuse of WMD to invade Iraq, Iraq is now a part of the American Empire. The Iraqis have lost their territorial sovereignty. The Americans are their new masters._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

The Evil Empire threatening the International Criminal Court
According to Wikipedia, ‘The International Criminal Court (ICC or ICCt)[2] is an intergovernmental organization and international tribunal that sits in The Hague in the Netherlands. The ICC has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The ICC is intended to complement existing national judicial systems and it may therefore only exercise its jurisdiction when certain conditions are met, such as when national courts are unwilling or unable to prosecute criminals or when the United Nations Security Council or individual states refer situations to the Court.’
This court has more credibility and support from the UN than the commercial private arbitration court that the Aquino govt used to judge the South China Sea island dispute. The American rogues are condemning this ICC as ‘unaccountable’ and ‘outright dangerous’ but told its little USAs to blare that the commercial court in the Hague was a UN linked court and its rulings must be abided by like a UN supported court. The little USAs happily accepted this edict from the Evil Empire and went shouting at China as told by the Evil Empire, only to kena slammed by China for their shameless stupidity.
The ICC has been directed to charge some American war criminals for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan and the rogues in the US are furious. They are not only above the laws, above international laws, they even threatened to arrest and sanction judges and officials of the ICC ‘if it moves to charge any American who served in Afghanistan with war crimes’.
The gangster in John Bolton threatened, ‘If the court comes after us, Israel of other US allies, we will not sit quietly down.’ This is not all. He added, ‘We will bann its judges and prosecutors from entering the US. We will sanction their funds, in the US financial system, and we will prosecute them in the US criminal system.’
What do these arrogant brags said about the Evil Empire? They are above the laws and can be lawless and no one can do anything to them even if they commit war crimes or crimes against humanity. And more, the Americans would use ‘any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court’. John Bolton is claiming that the ICC is illegitimate! The Americans would not allow any courts, like the ICC, to ‘have higher authority than the US Constitution and US sovereignty’.
Compare this to the silly countries that allowed the American courts to impose its will and laws onto them, violating these countries’ sovereignty and constitution. And these silly countries could not see any wrong with it and obediently do what the American courts told them to, like the Najib case, the seizing of his boat in Indonesia.
The rogues in Washington has told the whole world in defiance that they do not come under any law or jurisdiction of any international organisation but expect others to do so and to come under the jurisdiction and laws of the Evil Empire.
Anything wrong with this? Should the rest of the world accept this state of affair dictated by the Evil Empire? The Evil Empire had made use of the ICC and other UN and non UN agencies to incriminate other people of war crimes and crimes against humanity that are of very insignificant scale compare to the hundreds of thousands or millions killed by the American forces and their cronies. Now the Americans said no one is allowed to charge them for war crimes or crimes against humanity, even their chosen agencies, agencies they made use to do the same thing._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

American’s white lie in the UN General Assembly
Without blinking an eye, Trump threatens Iran with more sanctions based on these white lies when he spoke at the UN GA in front of leaders of the world.
In a REUTERS’ report this was what Trump accused the Iranians of, ‘a “corrupt dictatorship” that is plundering its people to pay for aggression abroad, ….”Iran’s leaders sow chaos, death and destruction,” …”They do not respect their neighbours or borders or the sovereign rights of nations.”’
Trump also attacked the legitimate International Criminal Court that is fully backed by the UN a having “no jurisdiction, no legitimacy and no authority” over the Americans. Compare this court to the so called commercial arbitration court in the Hague that was set up unilaterally to hear the South China Sea dispute which the Americans and the silly little USAs claimed was UN backed and its ruling should be followed? Which one is UN backed and which one is not and which one is legitimate and which is not?
And think about all the silly Asian and SE Asian countries that willingly accepted the jurisdiction of American courts against their citizens and happily abided by their orders? Think Najib, 1MDB and his luxury yacht? Why would silly Asian and SE Asian countries subject themselves to the rulings to the American courts? Are they American colonies? The Americans have unilaterally imposed their American laws on other countries as if they owned these countries.
Coming back to what Trump accused Iran of, were they not exactly what the Americans were doing, ‘sowing chaos, death and destruction, not respecting their neighbours or borders or the sovereign rights of nations?”
What gave the Americans the rights to put their soldiers in Iraq, in Syria or in Afghanistan to fight American bred and funded, and trained ‘terrorists’?
How many of the leaders in the UN believe in this white American lie spouted by Trump? How many of you believe in this lie of Trump?
Would be more proper and appropriate for the UN to ‘ensure the American evil regime changes its behavior and never acquires a nuclear bomb instead of building more powerful and destructive bombs?’ Would it be more opportune for the UN to start to impose sanctions on the Americans for starting wars everywhere, threatening nations with sanctions and wars and supporting and training rebel and terrorist organizations to destabilize legitimate govt and countries?
The USA is a peace loving country? How many wars is it fighting today and how many wars it is going to start tomorrow?
On every count it is a rogue country, an Evil Empire._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

Who is behind all the terrorist groups in the world?
When would world leaders, especially little USAs and American cronies, admit that the USA is behind all the terrorist movements and groups attacking legally elected and legitimate govts? The denials or looking the other way cannot go on anymore. The Americans are the number One terrorist organization breeding, training, funding and supporting all the terrorist movements all over the world, from Latin America through Europe, Central Asia, China’s Xinjiang, Middle East, Africa and SE Asia, including those in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar, are all funded by the Americans.
The most glaring example is Syria. The rebels and ISIS were all babies of the Americans. They have been defeated and at the last stage of being totally annihilated by the combined forces of Syrian govt, Russian and Iranian armies, holed up in Idlib.
The Americans are desperately trying to protect and save them and have unleashed Israel to attack, bomb and strike at Syrian and Iranian soldiers fighting the ISIS and rebels. The Americans have also inserted their Special Forces into Syria and have done the inevitable, direct contact with Russian Special Forces. Both sides are fighting fiercely without admitting the direct clashes between two of the most well trained special forces in the world. The Americans struck first and inflicted big casualties on the Russians, killing a Russian general, and the latter had hit back to exact revenge.
The Americans continue to build up more conventional forces around Syria, more warships and attack aircraft to match the Russian presence, all in a last ditch effort to save their poodles in the rebel movements and ISIS. Die, die the Americans want to save them to fight another day. They cannot accept defeat in the hands of the combined Russian, Iranian and Syrian forces. More American Special Forces are moving into Syria to confront the Russians in a situation they have been avoiding but forced to do so now.
There is no reason for the Evil Empire to risk a major war with the Russians just for some rebels and terrorist groups unless these are American assets that they seriously and desperately wanted to preserve and save to be redeployed in other theatres of war at their disposal. This showed how important the rebels and terrorist groups are to the Americans, that they are terror arms of the Americans.
The Americans are still trying to deceive the world, hiding under their deceptions, that the Americans are in Syria to fight the terrorists but in reality helping the terrorists, protecting the terrorists but fighting the Syrian, Iranian and Russian forces instead.
Where is the UN to openly condemn this American mischief and call a spade a spade and put an end to this devious American terrorism?_________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

The Evil American Empire has been abusing everything under the law, with their superior military power and control of the western media and media of little USAs to accuse, demonise and attack their enemies just to hold on to their position as the unchallenged dominant world power.

The strategy is very simple, just keep on accusing the enemies, demonise them using the main media, and attack them with their superior military might to destroy their enemies. These are the things the Americans are doing. The world's biggest war criminal, killing hundreds of thousands all over the world, but accusing every country they regard as enemies of war crimes, in Eastern Europe, in Africa, in Sri Lanka, in Myanmar and in Latin America. They also accused all these countries of violating human rights when they were the one that were the worst violator of human rights in the past and in present times. And sickeningly they awarded themselves under the slightest pretext with Nobel Peace Prize while conducting wars, escalating wars, and starting wars.

They blame other countries of militarisation, like China in the SC Sea when they set up more than 1,000 military bases all over the world, militarising the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean with nuclear bombs and sending warships, warplanes and Special Forces to threaten other countries. They accuse others of currency manipulation, of money laundering, when the American govt and American banks were the biggest culprits of such criminal activities.

They accuse China of settling Asian and African countries with debts when they were the ones that were doing so and with higher interest rates than China through IMF and the World Bank.

For decades they have been conducting world wide espionage, spying and eave droppings of communication lines, and cyber attacks and accused others of doing it as if they are innocent of such covert operations.

They coerce, pressure, threaten countries all over the world with military invasion, regime change, trade sanctions and everything you can name of but accused other countries of doing so.

They meddle and interfere with the domestic affairs and politics of every country but accusing others of meddling with American domestic politics.

They conduct smear campaigns against countries and their leader when they and their leaders were the worst scoundrels, groping women, sexual harassment, sexual violation, misconduct, blow job in the White House, violence etc etc.

I could go on and on. The main purpose of this dirty strategy is to attack and keep the enemies busy defending and have no time to hit back or to expose the dirt and shit of the Americans. The enemies would be so bogged down trying to clear their names and have no time to attack the Evil Empire on all their crimes against humanity, abuse of power, disregarding the rule of law and using the media to spread fake news and false news and disinformation about their enemies.

The Evil Empire is the Evil Empire and it is a matter of time before the wheel of fortune turns against them and bring them down on their knees. You can bluff some people some of the time but not all the people all the time. When the Evil Empire loses its power, it is a matter of when, they will pay for their abuses of power and media and for crimes against humanity._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

Unfair trading practices versus Unequal Treaties
The Americans are accusing China and other trading partners of unfair trade practices. And using this excuse the Americans have launched a trade war with all their trading partners and targeting China as their number One enemy.
How unfair are the trade practices of China? How would these so called unfair trade practices compare to the Unequal Treaties imposed on China after the Opium Wars and Sino Japanese War? Any of the Americans remember what were these Unequal Treaties and how fair or unfair they were to China? But before these Unequal Treaties, do they remember the wars of conquest, colonization of people and countries and imposing their will on the colonized people, looting and plundering these countries into poverty, robbing their land and natural resources and the dignity of the conquered and colonized people?
Since the Europeans left their shores to colonise and control the rest of the world, since the end of WW2, all the rules governing international trade were dictated by the West and subsequently by the Americans. The Americans and the West controlled the UN, IMF, World Bank and many international organizations to dictate rules for the rest of the world. They imposed sanctions and restrictions on what they want to buy and sell on the rest of the world. They set all the terms of agreements in their favour. Note, all the rules and regulations and treaties were dictated by the West and the Americans. And during the days of colonial rule and unequal treaties, the terms were forced on the other side under duress and threats of war. And the rest of the world, including China, has to abide and play by these rules. They imposed their will on China with stringent and unfair terms to join the WTO, the UN and any organization they controlled, and often banned China from organizations they did not want China to participate, like space technology and exploration.
Given the fact that the Americans were the ones that were dictating terms on international trade and international relations, how can these terms be favourable to China and unfair to the Americans? Are the Americans so stupid, so altruistic, so generous, to China and the rest of the world? China was isolated by the Americans for decades. The Americans are still doing it to China in many areas, and to countries like Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and many other countries they demonized as enemies.
The economic downfall of the USA is due to unfair practices, unfair practices imposed on the Americans by China and the rest of the world and China and the rest of the world are to be blamed for this?
On the other hand, China and the rest of the world were the underdogs. And when China signed trade or infrastructure building agreements with the rest of the world, these were done on a willing buyer willing seller basis, on terms negotiated by equals, with the best negotiators from both sides. These agreements by China and other countries were not done at gun point like the West and the Americans used to do when they conquered and colonized people/states.
Today, all the little countries are liberated and independent countries except the semi colonies of the USA and some colonies of European powers. South Korea and Japan are still victims of unequal treaties imposed on them by the Americans, demanding the right to station troops in their countries and controlling their armed forces. Same as in several Middle East countries. The independent countries today are helmed by highly politicized, smart and nationalistic leaders. Would these leaders signed agreements with China under pressure and to their disadvantage? Would the brilliant American trade negotiators/gangsters sign unfair trade agreements with China, under pressure because China is more powerful than the Americans? Could China dictate trading terms with the Americans in favour of China and Americans willingly agree to unfair trade practices when they are in charge, in control of everything, the world's biggest hegemon?
The facts, all the trading rules and terms were dictated by the Americans and the Chinese were price takers of such unfair agreements, often biased and in favour of the Americans. How valid is the claim of Donald Trump and his gangsters in Washington that China is imposing unfair trade practices or taking advantage of unfair trade practices on the Americans?
This is exactly like the saying, a thief shouting thief. China and the rest of the world are playing by the rules set by the Americans, under the American world order, living under Pax Americana, the Evil Empire._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

In a live interview, Jim Rogers said he has been to North Korea several times and found great opportunities to invest in that country. He said the North Koreans practically need everything and he would want to be the first to invest in that country. The North Korean govt has given approval for him to do the necessary.

He said he came from the land of the free, freedom of expression, of beliefs, of association, freedom to do anything. But, his country, the land of the free would not allow him to invest in North Korea. He is not free to invest in North Korea! See the irony, the hypocrisy?

The two Koreans would want to sign a peace agreement. The Chinese and Russians also supported the peace agreement. But the Americans would not want to sign a peace agreement with the North Koreans. For doing so, there would be no justification for the Americans to keep their military bases in South Korea or nuclear weapons there. There can be no peace agreement as far as the Americans are concerned. All the talks and hype are just that, for show, not to mean anything. Trump may be the only person who could be believed to want to sign a peace treaty with Kim. How much to make out of what he said is another thing. He and his gang are pushing for more sanctions on the North Koreans and demanding the North to denuclearise without the Americans doing so. Would he be doing the same stunt like calling Xi his good friend and then starts a trade war on Kim after North Korea has denuclearised? Andyou can bet all the other American leaders and agencies would be asking Trump to squeeze the North Koreans like an orange, and follow up with an invasion.

The two Koreans also know this. And they are going ahead with their own plan for peace and reunification without the approval of the Americans. Their actions would eventually make Trump and his USA irrelevant when the two Koreans sign a peace agreement without the Americans. When that happened, they would force a fait accompli on the Americans and it would be the Americans standing out like a sore thumb, the only evil one that is deadly against a Korean unification and peace in the Korean Peninsula.

The rest of the world and many Americans like Jim Rogers would be rushing into North Korea to take their first bite of the cherry when the Koreans open up their market. Caveat, Jim Rogers and his American investors could be left out in the cold, banned by the Americans from investing and trading with North Korea. The American's game of pretending to be the angel but really the devil behind the non ending Korean War would be exposed with horns and a tail to show.

Jim Rogers is a free man from the land of the free but has no freedom to invest in North Korea._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

Americans do not meddle in the domestic affairs of countries
Trump and his lying gangsters have continued their barrage on China meddling in American domestic politics and trying to influence American opinions in the November election. He added that the Chinese meddling were worse than what the Russians were doing. He did not say whether the Chinese and Russian meddling in American domestic affairs were worse or less than the Americans meddling in other countries, especially Chinese and Russian affairs. The answer is no as far as the lying Americans are concerned. The Americans did not meddle in other countries’ domestic affairs or tried to influence them.
The breakup of the Soviet Union was not due to the Americans meddling in the USSR’s affair. Agents meddling in the domestic affairs of countries to try to influence nation states to be more friendly with them are very easy to be dealt with. Just send them packing home.
In the case of the Soviet Union’s breakup it was regime change, not just simple meddling or trying to influence a country’s policies. These are kid’s stuff. The Americans are more serious than that and many countries have had their bad experiences with the Americans. Just look at what is happening in Iraq, in Libya and in Syria, in Korea, in the South China Sea, in Myanmar, would tell you that the Americans did not meddle with their domestic affairs but conducted regime change, threatening invasion and wars.
The tools of the Americans are not diplomats or academics but the CIA and Special Forces and military bases. The CIA would invite themselves into countries they chose to conduct covert operations. The Special Forces could be invited or invited themselves in likes the CIA with or without the consent of the local govts. And you cannot expel them or send them home. They would not leave and may turnaround to fight, with the insurgents they recruited, trained, financed and armed as their front.
And the military bases, once in, no way would they leave. They are there to control the colonized or semi colonized countries like they are part of the USA, or part of the American Empire. Ask the Japanese and the South Koreans how they tried to rid their countries of the Americans and how difficult it was to do so.
See, the Americans did not meddle with the domestic affairs of countries nor tried to influence their policies. They are much more vicious than that._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

China and US must stop this trade war
What kind of statement is this? Who is responsible for this trade war? Who started this trade war and keep escalating? Casual readers reading this statement without understanding how the trade war started would give the impression that China is as guilty as a party to the trade war launched by the American Trump.
It is important to get the facts right and say things that are factually correct. China cannot be blamed for this trade war. The European countries and those countries under attacked by the Americans cannot be blamed for this trade war. This is a unilateral declaration of war by the Americans against the rest of the world for trading under the American designed world order and trading system.
The whole trading system is designed by the Americans under WTO and other American controlled agencies and was working well, at least in the interest of the Americans since its beginning. The Americans were the main beneficiary of the international trading system as they are the one that designed and fixed it to their advantage. It was Pax Americana, with the Americans as the undeclared but de facto Empire feeding on the rest of the world.
The situation started to go against the American interest when they over indulged in their consumption and expenditure in conducting wars and more wars, in building a huge military complex around the world that they could not longer afford except to print more fiat paper money. The Americans would not whisper a word of dissatisfaction if they have not incurred trillions of debt that they know they could not repay and continuing with the printing of paper money would eventually turn the US dollar into a worthless banana currency.
Now they want the rest of the world to pay them to remain as the Empire to rule the world under their new terms. Why would the rest of the world continue to pay to support an Empire to rule over them? Why would the world allow the Americans to continue to print money to support their extravagant lifestyle, military adventurism, building a huge military arsenal to threaten and bully every country at their whims and fancy?
The Americans are desperate to clear their debt before the USA becomes officially bankrupt and the US dollar becomes junk paper. They want the rest of the world to continue to feed them and pay for all their expenses as the dominant power and in conducting wars. Can you believe that, the rest of the world must pay the Americans for building military bases everywhere, for maintaining all the naval fleets with aircraft carriers to attack any country at will, for keeping the biggest nuclear arsenal to use against them if they did not listen to and obey the Empire?
China did not start this war and is only reacting and responding to the attacks by the Americans. Or should China just do nothing and allow the Americans to slam them at will, cannot retaliate? It is the Americans that must stop this war. Once the Americans did that, there will be no wars, just like if they stop all their military wars all over the world, there will be no wars.
The Americans are the warmongers! The Americans are to be blamed for this trade war and all the wars all over the world. Why afraid to tell the Americans to stop their wars, trade wars and wars of invasion?_________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

No place for empire and aggression – Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the ugliest of them all?
At the recent Asean Meeting with the big powers, this is what Mike Pence said, there is no place for ‘empire and aggression’ in the Indo Pacific region. And as usual the western media Reuters interpreted this as a message pointing a finger at China. To the Evil Empire, they are not an Empire, or only they can be the Empire. No one else can be an empire and anyone who has the capability but with no intention would be demonized as one trying to build an empire. This is like the proverbial phrase, a thief calling others as thiefs.
What is an empire? Since the end ofWW2, the Americans have been building and establishing itself as the Empire of the world, ruling and dictating to every country to do their bidding. They have more than 1,000 military bases all over the world with offensive weapons, including nuclear, in Asia, Europe, in the Indian and Pacific Ocean. They have colonies and semi colonies and little USAs to do their bidding at their becks and calls. Compare to these military bases and American vassal states, what did China have? Nothing worth mentioning.
And what about aggression? China started the Korean War, China invaded Vietnam in the Vietnam War, China invaded Afghanistan, invaded Iraq, invaded Libya and Syria? China mounting hundreds of thousands of troops and tanks and nuclear bombs in Eastern Europe to threaten Russia? China threatening Iran, threatening to invade Iran, threatening to invade North Korea? China imposing sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea and warned every country of consequences if they trade with these countries?
What about China sending provocative warships to Guam and Hawaii in the name of freedom of navigation?
Mike Pence spoke about empire and aggression to Asean leaders and thinking that they are fools, that they did not know that the Americans are the Evil empire and conducting aggression against many countries all over the world. This is the arrogance of the Empire. And he told his white lies in a straight face, apparently targeting China in his speech as Reuters would happily agree. And the hawkish spokesman of the Empire John Bolton said, the Empire will build up more forces and increase patrols in the South China Sea.
America is NOT an empire and America is a peace loving country, never conduct aggression. It is China, it is China. Of course the unthinking Asians, especially the bananas, would love to believe in this lie. They live their whole life with this lie that they would not want to know the truth.
The Evil Empire is everywhere, conducting aggression everywhere, with 1,000 military bases everywhere. The Asean leaders are no fools even if the Americans think they are fools. Duterte has pointedly told the Americans to stop provoking China into a war in the region as the people that would suffer would be the people of Asean with the Pinoys becoming the first victims.
The white lies would always be white lies. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the ugliest of them all? Who is the Empire, who is the aggressor? Who is starting wars and fighting wars everywhere?
PS. Pass that white man a mirror._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

Below is a quote from Mike Pence, US Vice President as reported in CNA.

“The US seeks an Indo-Pacific where every nation is free to follow their own path, pursue its own interest, where the seas and skies are open to all engaged in a peaceful activity and where sovereign nations grow stronger together,” he added. “Our vision excludes no nation, requiring only that every nation treat their neighbours with respect.” Did the Americans respect anyone, even the UN is being ignored, the ICJ also rejected when they ruled against the Americans.

This is a typical white lie the Americans have been spreading. Every country is free to choose their path, pursue their own interest, blah blah blah. But they cannot choose communism, they cannot buy oil without using the US dollar, they must practise democracy the American way, they must buy weapons from the Americans, they must do as told by the Americans. This is what the Americans meant by being free.

If that is too difficult to understand, why can't countries choose their own forms of govt, of ideologies, why must they be dictated by the Americans?

Look at what had happened to Iraq and Libya? What were their crimes against the Evil Empire? Because they want to sell their oil using other currencies other than the American dollars. And they were invaded and the two presidents were killed.

And the Americans invaded Syria to conduct regime change to overthrow a leader chosen by the Syrians. Did the Evil Americans allow the Syrians to be free to choose their path? What about the Palestinians?

Do the Americans allow China to follow its own path in development, in development its own political system? What about North Korea? Can North Korea choose its own path to progress and development?

Do the South Koreans and Japan have a right to run their own countries and be independent of the Americans, to tell the Americans to leave their military bases in their countries?

How much more nonsense must the world be made to swallow the lies of the Americans and suck up to them and be under the control of the Evil American Empire? Would Pence dare to make the same speech to the Middle East countries they invaded and destroyed for wanting to choose their own path, do their own things, freedom to choose?

What freedom of choice is this white liar talking about?

And the USA never coerce anyone. They just do regime change. They just invade countries. They just imposed sanctions. They sent warships to provoke and intimate countries. These are the virtues of the Evil Empire. The menace of the USA is indescribable.

Can Singapore or any Asean state choose to be closer and friendlier with China?_________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

White rogues playing dirty – Huawei CFO arrested
Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada pending extradiction to the US for alleged charges of violating US sanctions. The full nature of the allegation is still not explained. This is how dirty the white men are when they are desperate. They are trying every means to cripple Huawei’s ascendancy as the most advanced mobile phone technology company. Now, unable to compete, they have resorted to harassment and illegal arrest of Huawei’s personnel.
This is war. China must not take this lightly as the evil white rogues would take inaction as weakness and would be more aggressive and lawless in their actions. China could also drum up some fictitious charges and arrest a few Americans in China or Hongkong to trade.
The evil whites would never change and still think they are above the law and can be lawless and do anything they want. This is critical time and the relentless pressure the Americans are mounting against China cannot be stopped by appeasement. The tit for tat trade war must be extended to tit for tat in such lawless act for supremacy.
China cannot be on the receiving end all the time. The time is now to stand firm and return every blow with counter blow or continue to be hit under the belt. China must stand up to the evil Empire’s bullying if it wants to survive in this lawless world when might is right.
The Chinese population would demand Xi to take tough action against Canada for a start. The whole world would be looking at China to see if it is still the whipping boy of the West. If this is what they think of China, China’s place in the international arena would be erased. As a major power, China cannot sit idly by to be bullied by a small country like Canada and is forced to act. China cannot allow its citizens to be arrested or harassed by rogue regimes freely. China cannot allow Chinese to be attacked and killed by savages and beasts for political expediency.
Xi could give a call to Trump for her immediate release or else all deals are off. China has to protect its citizens against the world’s number one rogue regime and its cronies. The desperateness of the white rogues is telling and they are resorting to recklessness and aggression. Canada must also be punished for acting as another little USA.
The US cannot apply its laws against citizens of another country but to its citizens or companies operating in the USA if the sanction is unilateral and not recognized by other countries. China does not recognize this American sanction and arresting Chinese citizens is infringing on the sovereignty and rights of a citizen of another country, in this case Chinese citizen and China.
Can the Americans go everywhere to arrest anyone who traded with Iran or North Korea due to their unilateral sanctions?

PS. Since the Canadians think they can arrest Chinese citizens that did not commit crimes in Canada, China should reciprocate by arresting a few Canadians in China for the same reason, did not commit crimes in China._________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

Iran sanction – The Evil Empire continues to bully the rest of the world
No one can trade with Iran by order of the Emperor of the American Empire. The reason, Iran is not keeping to its promise not to build nuclear bombs. Is Iran doing so? The European powers to the denuclearization of Iran said no, but the Evil Empire said yes, just like the WMD lie against Saddam Hussein. When the Evil Empire said so, no one can dispute this lie. The European powers tried but were ignored. They are also expected to comply with the sanction or face punitive measures from the Evil Empire.
Only 8 countries, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Greece, Taiwan and Turkey are given temporary exemption from this sanction, ie 180 days. And the Evil Empire ration them to buy only a fixed amount from Iran, eg China is allowed to buy 360,000 bpd while South Korea is allowed a quota of 130,000 bpd. They all have to comply with the edict of the Evil Empire or else.
The crime of Iran, and also of North Korea, is that they want to build some nuclear weapons as a deterrent against a nuclear attack on their countries by the Evil Empire. They did not build these weapons to attack anyone but for defence. The Evil Empire is the only country that has been threatening to attack other countries with nuclear weapon. It refused to commit itself not to use nuclear weapons.
Why is such an Evil Empire allowed to build so many nuclear weapons and threatening to use them against countries it demonized and the world, the UN, accepts this position? And while pointing an accusing finger at Iran, the Evil Empire is not stopping its nuclear programme. It has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons and has announced that it is going to develop more and even more destructive nuclear weapons. And the whole world just lower their heads and keep quiet, unable to say no, unable to protest, while the Evil Empire continues to build more nuclear weapons to threaten and use against countries it calls enemies.
How unjust can the world be? How useless is the UN to allow the Evil Empire to dictate and bully the whole world with military and nuclear weapons? The Americans are saying that they can do anything they like, have as many nuclear weapons as they like and others cannot have any. And they can use nuclear weapons as any country with impunity.
And how many silly leaders are still saying that the Evil Empire is the most peaceful and benign hegemon and want to invite the Evil Empire to be the policeman of the world? How many silly leaders are going to remove their blinkers and call a spade a spade, an Evil Empire a Evil Empire? When would the rest of the world stand up to the bullying of the Evil Empire?_________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

Terrorism and terrorists
In the media, terrorism and terrorists are often associated with religious extremists and fundamentalists, suicide squads and attacks on the streets. And there are countries that branded as evil, the Axis of Evil. The repetition of such usage and the branding of certain countries in the western media have directly or indirectly implanted in the minds of innocent readers who are the terrorists and countries that subconsciously become the bad countries. And you can be sure that anyone that has been fed daily by the western media would spurt out names and groups and countries unconsciously as those related to terrorism and terrorist activities. Why, because the western media said so, and saying everyday, like telling a lie and turning it into an unthinking truth. No one reading the western media would ever think or association terrorism with the USA and western countries despite the hundreds of thousands of innocent people dying or killed or maimed by their wars and indiscriminate bombings in the name of fighting terrorism. They even roared into laughter at the mentioned of those killed by their bombings and called them innocently as war collateral.
Let’s look at this definition of terrorism in the Wikipedia.
‘There is no universal agreement on the definition of terrorism. Various legal systems and government agencies use different definitions. Moreover, governments have been reluctant to formulate an agreed upon and legally binding definition. These difficulties arise from the fact that the term is politically and emotionally charged. In the United States of America, for example, Terrorism is defined in Title 22 Chapter 38 U.S. Code 2656f as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents."
It is the use of violence or threat of violence in the pursuit of political, religious, ideological or social objectives.
It can be committed by governments, non-state actors, or undercover personnel serving on the behalf of their respective governments.
It reaches more than the immediate target victims and is also directed at targets consisting of a larger spectrum of society.
It is both mala prohibita (i.e., crime that is made illegal by legislation) and mala in se (i.e., crime that is inherently immoral or wrong).’

The number of terrorist activities, bombings, street attacks, if one bothers to count them, are really insignificant when compared to the daily bombings and wars conducted by the American forces in all guises. The number of people killed and wounded by terrorist acts was so small compared to the number of people killed and wounded by the countless wars being waged by the Americans and their cronies and the indiscriminate bombings conducting by them. A good example was the cruise missile attack on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. Did anyone call it a terrorist act? Did the western media called it a terrorist attack or they simply brushed it off as a mistake in reading an old map and the unthinking simply accepted the explanation.
Why were the violent acts of Americans and their cronies, they called it war on terrorism, abstained them from being labeled as terrorists or acts of terrorism? Simple, they wrote the narratives, they controlled the western media written by western authors. They would not call themselves terrorists or rogues or gangsters. They would call themselves the soldiers of goodness and righteousness and their victims were bad guys and deserved to be terminated. With the western media deliberately refusing to tag them as terrorists, the readers were simply conditioned not to think they are the world's Number One Terrorists.
This is how powerful the media is, especially the western media and how they write words in the minds of their readers. Words like terrorism, terrorists and fundamentalists would never be attached to the savages of the West, the mercenaries that were armed with the most deadly weapons to kill people of the rest of the world. By not attributing such words on themselves, their readers would not relate terrorism and terrorists to the real terrorists that have been killing innocent people wantonly and indiscriminately.
Beware when you read the western media and their narratives. It is one sided, they are the good guys and the rest of the world are the bad guys. Good guys can kill bad guys. Good guys killing bad guys are called wars on terrorism, wars on terrorists and not the other way round.
Think and ask and question why your thinking is such and who is planting ideas into your head on what is right and wrong and who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. Many bananas are the victims of such manipulation of their subconscious mind without them knowing. Communism is bad, North Korea and Iran are bad, the Axis of Evil etc etc etc. China is stealing western technology. What is there to steal when China has more advanced technologies than the west? Why would China want to steal backward technologies? What is there to steal? But they keep harping on this narrative and innocent readers would just repeat this thought, that the West is the most advanced in technology and China is desperately trying to steal them.
Who is more advanced in space technology? Who is more advanced in rocketry? Who is more advanced in drone technology? Who is more advanced in quantum physics and AI? Who is more advanced in electric cars? Who is more advanced in high speed train? Who is more advanced in infrastructure development? Who is more advanced in supply chains? And yes, who is more advanced in 5G technology?
Who is stealing whose technology? Only the Chinese are hacking into western systems, the West, especially the Americans, are so innocent? Heard of wikileak and Snowden and what did they expose?
Heard of the phrase State Terrorism?_________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.

Americans keep attacking others to deflect the attention on themselves

WASHINGTON: The United States on Friday (Sep 21) denounced China's treatment of its Uighur Muslims in unusually strong terms, adding to a growing list of disputes in increasingly turbulent relations between the two powers.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo voiced alarm after a United Nations report described the mass internment of Uighurs under the pretext of preventing extremism in the western Xinjiang region where the minority group is concentrated....

This is another clear indicator of the CIA's behind the rising unrest in Xinjiang. They are the backers and financial and trainer of the Uigher terrorist groups in China and building this group to start another area of tension and conflict and eventually a war zone like in Syria and other parts of the world.

To be silent on the crimes of the Americans, the powerful, hoping that the Americans will spare you because you did not whistleblow on them is not a wise thing to do. When you are afraid of the power to be, and close one eye to their crimes, they would not return the favour. They would continue to dig out your crimes, even non crimes to make them look like crimes, to incriminate you. This is the politics of the evil and powerful ones. Many countries are guilty of this compliance or appeasement game and think they could be spare until the Americans slammed them real hard.

Think of Guantanamo prison camp, Abu Ghraib, every country kept quiet, turned the other way while the Americans were committing crimes against the Geneva Convention and human rights, worst than what they were accusing the Chinese in Xinjiang. China did not raise the red flag on Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib and allowed the evil Americans to walk away from their crimes only to turn around to point the fingers at China and countries they chose to demonise as their enemies.

Do not allow the devil, the evil political powers to walk away from their crimes. Hit them when due. They would not say thank you just because you kept quiet. They would regard such reticence as weakness and be more blatant in their attacks when you are exposed. In the world of politics it is might is right. Yes, ask the Americans to obey the rule of law. No, the Americans did not violate the rule of law? Or is it that no one dares to tell the Americans so?_________________what i posted is just my personal view. feel free to disagree.
